### std::filesystem
The new `std::filesystem` library provides a standard way to manipulate files, directories, and paths in a filesystem.
Here, a big file is copied to a temporary path if there is available space:
```c++
const auto bigFilePath {"bigFileToCopy"};
if (std::filesystem::exists(bigFilePath)) {
const auto bigFileSize {std::filesystem::file_size(bigFilePath)};
std::filesystem::path tmpPath {"/tmp"};
if (std::filesystem::space(tmpPath).available > bigFileSize) {
std::filesystem::create_directory(tmpPath.append("example"));
std::filesystem::copy_file(bigFilePath, tmpPath.append("newFile"));
}
}
```
